Today it's rays Tomorrow it's ????

might not be common, but i do see people just leave banjos and toadies on the pier.
saw 1 dude catch a toadie, rip the hook out of its mouth and slammed it back into the water. the toadie was dead of course.
i think its pretty disgusting

The idiot who cut that thing up alive is a total loser.

While I personally have no interest in killing a big old ray for a meal, do we actually know that the ray was alive when its wings were removed?

Agreed zero proof has been provided of this.

100% the people behind the petition are diver groups.

Started by a woman who goes by the name PT Hirschfield and runs a blog/facebook group pink tank scuba. So yes, divers and dive groups. Like always, vested interests

Not to mention the blatant lies this woman has been spreading via the media in regards to fisheries regulations and numerous assumptions and insinuations in regards to anglers and our 'barbaric' sport including hundreds of accounts of mutilated, still alive rays laying around.... (un)Surprisingly not one single diver sprouting such torture had a single shred of evidence to the fact. Kind of strange given the amount of pictures and videos said people had of their numerous dives on public display....

And that ray in the pictures with said woman is dead, it's already partially decomposed where it's been cut if you look closely. Another of her lies

Yep exactly.

I've heard lots of different types of fishers, but a ray ... Fisher? Can those words be used like that?

They are surprisingly good to eat, just annoying to clean. And ones like eagles are bloody good fighters
